Photovine, Googles take on Instagram?

Photovine: Google Releases iPhone App for Community Photo-Sharing

Photovine, a photo-sharing application for iPhone from Google, landed on the App Store Wednesday. The application offers mobile users a way to share photos in public threads called “vines.”

The photo-sharing experience on Photovine [iTunes link] is centered on community storytelling through mobile photos, as explained in the app’s tagline: “Plant a photo, watch it grow.” This makes the app distinct from popular photo-sharing applications for iPhone like Instagram that proffer quick and easy ways to stylize and share photos.
